📖Published! Land use change can affect both species diversity and evolution within species🌍🐿️ We find that evolutionary response to land use change can be masked in the field by phenotypic plasticity, revealing hidden adaptation to global change👇️ buff.ly/TRxJ3bM

Have you heard about countergradient variation? We found it plays a role in plant response to grassland land use change: phenotypic plasticity masks evolutionary response to grazing abandonment! @erc.europa.eu @journalofecology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Interested in eco-evo, plant traits, grasslands, or land use change? Check out our new paper, a great first Ph.D. publication of lead author Anastasia Tõnisson! From the team of Marina Semchenko @plantecoevout.bsky.social

There’s Fungus Among Us. But Where Exactly? To find out where the Amazon of the underground actually is, read about our research in this new article by @emilyanthes.bsky.social for @nytimes.com and explore our Underground Atlas. Article: buff.ly/qNdVAxa Underground Atlas: buff.ly/mqkz5XL

The final version of this viewpoint paper is now out in @funecology.bsky.social Clarifying the definition of common mycorrhizal networks besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Follow-up papers: see thread

Excited to do a postdoc in beautiful Neuchatel / Switzerland🇨🇭? We have several postdoc positions open at the moment! Check our website for the full ads here: pathogen-genomics.org/jobs Happy to answer any question and please spread the word to anyone who might be interested!

Please spread the word - I am looking for a postdoc to join my lab at @osubpp.bsky.social to study diversity and interactions of plants and pathogens in wild and working landscapes! More information here: agsci-labs.oregonstate.edu/diseaseecolo...

JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN PLANT PATHOLOGY / GENOMICS We have extended the deadlines for the postdoctoral positions. Please apply by January 15! Note that experience with either genome or transcriptome data, preferably on a large scale, is a must for these positions.

Applications now open for the 2025 International Travel Stipends to attend #Evol2025! Funds cover registration, travel, food, and lodging. Can also be used to attend #ESEB2025! Apply by January 31: https://buff.ly/3ZEWUqe @evolmtg.bsky.social

Go and check @serainacappelli.bsky.social poster! She has some cool results on plant community change over time depending on the consumer pressure! #BES2024

Nici Zurbuchen studies the effects of drought and warming on plant herbivory and communities on montaine grasslands. Find out more at his poster! #BES2024

Noémie Pichon from @wslbiodiversity.bsky.social explores plant community changes in protected areas of Switzerland. The amount of specialists and warm-adapted species is increasing, nitrogen-hungry species are decreasing. #BES2024

Bastien Parisy explores the complex communities of plants and fungi in the Arctic. There are major rewiring of interactions and the community structure is partly explained by environmental variation. Still, most of the realised interactions are difficult to predict. #BES2024

#BES2024 It is not really a conference unless @mikkotiusanen.bsky.social is walking around sporting some high-fashion wool socks. Where are his shoes? Where is his poster? It is all a mystery.

Can above ground infections influence plant' associations with soil fungi? @jenalleeck.bsky.social explores the effects of patterns on Plantago lanceolata on Åland islands and finds infections and connectivity increasing AM fungal diversity. @annaliisalaine.bsky.social #BES2024

Hi Bsky! Will you fill the social media-sized hole in my heart? Yes, you say? Do you know how? No? Well, I'm easy to please. Post about topics like: 1) Science, nature, research, and conservation. I'm a professional! 2) Art, music, writing, photography, RPGs. I'm a total amateur! and BE NICE!😀
